(The Last Check) The book contains 1,000 mate combinations, all diagrammed with solution. It is intended for intermediate and stronger players. The First edition was in 1979, then the same book was published with title 1000 matovykh kombinatsiy in 2002. This 3rd edition returns to its original title. The samples are the same like in previous editions, the difference is that all analysis are computer-tested and possible mistakes are corrected. Also a setting is more comfortable than previously.
